Until It Happens To You

Original and similar lyrics

Jeff Cook/Teddy Gentry/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler, 3:43
I worry all day and I can't go to sleep at night
Thinking about baby and wondering who's holding her tight tonight
People say I've been a fool too long, too long
All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on
Chorus:
And I say
You'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
Love ain't something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And you'll never know until it happens to you
Saturday's rollin' and everybody's rockin' but me
I should go to town but I don't want no company, no, no, no
Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
I know it's true but if they only knew it's easier said than done
Oh yeah
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Friends say I've been a fool too long, much too long
They just don't understand why I sit at home all alone by the phone
And I say
You'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
You'll never know, oh no
You'll never know, whoa
You'll never know until it happens to you

(spoken) Mmm, I think I'm gonna have to call
in sick
Yeah...hey Mr. Supervisor, I think I'm gonna
have to call in sick na na na na...
Can't leave my woman like this...
oooh...
If there's one thing I can't stand, its leaving you
so early in the morning.
This nine to five I have is surley getting to me
for the third time I think I'm gonna have to call in sick
If I leave you now I'll be loosing my mind, my mind.
Chorus
Hope we never get tired, and I never
have to go to work, no one knocking on the door
disrespecting the no disturb sign.
No baby crying, no horn blowing
just the whisper of our voices all day long
na na na na baby
A man who don't sweet treat his woman
surley wasting a lot of time,
she might not say it but she needs
tenderness in her life.
When I look in your eyes baby,
I see clear as a warning sign,
I gotta take some more time off
and give you extra love na na na na
hope you like it.
(chorus)
Oooh won't you come a little closer..
thats it my orenge juice,
reach over and hold me baby, just like that
just like that, we're gonna be making love, all
through the day time (hope you like it baby)
(Chorus)
Whispering sweet, sweet prayers of love...
(Chorus x 2)
All day long, all day long now, all day long

*Yogi B*
Oh baby bring it on, Poetic Ammo for the 2G
Landslyde, Point Blanc, C.Loco, Yogi B, Mad Stacz word up
Chorus *Yogi B*
The price I pay for the life I choose
I'm ahead of my time, don't you know that, win or lose
In it for the love and don't you confuse
Money, fame and honeys cos I paid my dues
*Yogi B*
I'm above it all money, politics, confrontation
Don't you know that my ammunition be poetic
Some forget it, bringin' on static
I take em' all out, the undisputed
Subsonic Supreme, now hear the ladies scream
Honeys be like butter so I turn em' to cream
Mad love, nationwide everytime I ride
Ammo fans keepin' me feelin' good inside
So I destroy anyone who come tested
Cos I had enough of my development arrested
Now ya bloodsuckers gonna feel my stake
Cos all I wanted was my piece of the cake, son!
(Too much of sacrifice in this game)
*Landslyde*
Transcendence, when I preach my rhyme with this sentence
You don't wanna mess with Landslyde I got vengeance
Endorsements I be running fast with my horsemen
Now I got bills and it's time for me flossin'
HUH! I'm talkin' 'bout my long term glory
Whut! Secured myself my inventory
I would not wanna be in your shoes if it is you
Wannabes faking the slang you be a fool
Cos you be thinkin' I'll be gone without a notice
It's bogus, cos I be still around like George Lucas
The colour notes, floats the currency controls
The name, achievement the status unfolds
Chorus x2
Break *Yogi B*
Pretty boy, me know for a long long time now
You ought to go for yours but you want to go for mine
All your life you find hard to define
How we get em' up, hit em' up and be uh, so superfine
*Point*
I drop the deadly wordplay strikes ya' at your ventricular
Magnetic decibels bursting through them molecular
Structure, False prophets' rapture,
Non-believers fracture, credibility I'm a capture
Stormbringer the second coming I'm a reign supreme
Prime directives makin' cream, the masses scream
Theoretical, individual, arch-rival
Spittin' venomous rhymes shit be homicidal
Camouflage, Mafioso fam livin' large
Entourage, elusive sight makes mirage
Progressive inclination to a higher state equals troubleshooting
If you smell what Avatar's cookin'!
Chorus 2x
(Sacrifices, you make sacrifices)
*C.Loco*
You be expendable, use and abuse you're deletable
Drag your icon to the trash click you're minimal
Virtually non-existent social outcast
Like unknown and ugly mutants scream no contest
Nevermind me as I take what you got
Leftover personality you're lame no matter what
What you're thinkin', I ain't easy to understand
My brain matter complex in command
My Ammo, livin' large update my motto
Just follow, a day at a time never so slow
You don't know, visually engaging cos I'm Loco
You're so so, try to diss me is a no no
Chorus 2x
(You can't understand us 3x you don't understand us)

Tired of feeling all by myself
Being so different
From everyone else
Somehow you knew
I needed your help
Be my friend forever
I never found
My star in the night
Feeling my dream was
Far from my sight
You came along and
I saw the light
We'll be friends forever
CHORUS:
I can't face the
Thought of you leaving
So take me along
I swear I'll be strong
(If/when) you take me
Wherever you go
I wanna learn the things
That you know
Now that you
Made me believe
I want you to take me
'Cause I long to be able
To see the things
That you see
know that whatever you do
I'll follow you
Somebody must have
Sent you to me
What do I have
You could possibly need
All I can give is my guarantee
We'll be friends forever
Repeat chorus
Teach me more in
Each passing hour
By your side
I know I will cower
Is it true that
You have the power
To capture this moment in time
Take me wherever you go
I wanna learn the things
That you know
Now that you made me believe
I want you to take me
'Cause I long to be able
To see the things
That you see
Know that
Whatever you do
I'll follow you

[Big Daddy Kane]
Ready willin and able
Here comes the new modern day Dark Gable
On the mattress and on the boxsprings
Girls, they wanna sport me like bamboo earrings
The go-getter, the skins-hitter
And if your girl says she met me.. I probably did her
Word up, the sex super stud
I jump your bones like ten Crips against one Blood
(NASTY!) The N-A-S-T-Y
Ready for action if you wanna see why
So come on, and let's do this
As I, tiptoe through your tu-lips
Like Moses, I part them legs like the Red Sea
And then I plant somethin deadly
Poundin and poundin, is how I'm servin this
Makin it look like, your bed is goin through turbulence
Lots of lust, between the two of us
The sign on my Jimmy says, Kidney's or bust, so
I shove deeper than the voice of Barry
to make you hit high notes like Mariah Carey
It's like a Morris Day jerkout
to put you in more positions than a Jane Fonda workout
I'm ready to tear down walls
You say let's chill, but to hell with that,
I'm not Aaron Hall, so..
Chorus: repeat 4X
Give it to me, give it to me

(Give it here.. - gt; 4X)
[Big Daddy Kane]
I paid the cost to be the boss
like with that HIV rumor they tried to toss
But I'm so good with the women that if I ever caught AIDS
a woman doctor'd find a cure just so she could get laid
So never fear my dear, just come on over here
I practice safe sex, with girls I lay next
In other words, the J-hat's on the head
Cause I'm too sexy for AIDS like Right Said Fred
So can touch you there, hah Hah
I like to take my, time, whenever, I'm
massagin my fingers through a girl -- ooh-wee
I leave her wet, just like her beaver had a jheri curl
Then I begin to hit those skins
So baby doll, let let me in
* sample of Q-Tip going uh, uhh, uh, uhh from _Check the Rhyme_ *
And if you're the slight bit tight from virginity..
.. vaseline on me!
Chorus: repeat 4X
Give it to me, give it to me
* sample of Q-Tip going uh, uhh, uh, uhh from _Check the Rhyme_ *
(Give it here.. - gt; 4X)
[sample of a sex scene from a movie]
[Big Daddy Kane]
Just another pervert that loves to flirt
with a skirt so at a concert girls stay alert
Cause I be hoppin on em just like a frog
I run through, a Luke video, like it's a smorgasboard
I start sweatin, my back gets to humpin
then I thump and I thump and I thump and I thump
I don't carry a gun but I'm packin somethin lethal
One of the last she-BOINKIN people
So come on Miss Thing don't front
You got me on a hunt, and you know what I want, that,
U-S-S-Y, wait, that's not the way, oh
Pass the P's like they used to say!
And when I give you this fat one
You gotta guard your grill.. honey nonononononono, not that one..
Because I give girls the grand slam
I'm like a radio station: CONTINOUS JAMS
Chorus: repeat 8X
Give it to me, give it to me
* sample of Q-Tip going uh, uhh, uh, uhh from _Check the Rhyme_ *

I'd be alone again
A thousand voices call to me
A cry that splits the night
Woke up a soul inside
My memory
I chose to walk along
To search and find my destiny
So many lonesome roads
Keep me away from where
I long to be
I lie awake and see a cold and empty room
I sit alone and think of places I once knew
Of friends that I had loved and left behind
Oh how could I have been so blind
(Chorus)
Back home
Where all the love is that I need
Where my family waits for me
Back home
Back home
I close my eyes and I would see
Where the river meets the sea
Back home
There is no better place than home to me
My home is where I find my destiny
Instrumental
I'm going home again
And I just can't wait to see
Old folks that I have missed
A mother's tender kiss
So soft, so sweet
I'll hold her in my arms
Like I'd never left my home
My families my home
Now I'll tell them that
I miss them so
I know I've been away so very long
That I hurt you when I left and I was wrong
And I see that home is where my heart belongs
So hang on heart cause here I come
Chorus X 2
Back Home
